As faithful Catholics, we are encouraged to vote NO on Issue 1 in this coming November 7th election. The language in the amendment needs to be carefully read and understood as it is vague. If passed, it will: 1. challenge who can perform an abortion along with the standards of care, putting women at risk 2. endanger preborn children by forcing Ohio to abandon the protection already in place for preborns with a detectable heartbeat and allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy 3. remove parents’ rights – meaning parents would no longer need to give consent or even be informed if their minor child requested an abortion and more.
